“You may be disappointed if you fail, but
you are doomed if you don't try."
Beverly Sills - Opera Singer (1929 - 2007)

I can't believe
it is September already! There is something about the end of summer vacation and
the start of the school year that motivates me to clean up around the house and
office and start new things. Maybe it's the canning of tomatoes or the pulling
out of the dead bean plants, but something definitely triggers a desire to start
fresh.

Maybe you are looking to freshen up your computer. It's a good idea to
periodically blow the dust out and remove the temp files to keep your computer
working at it's best. It's easy to do. Go to My computer, right click on the
hard drive, choose properties from the menu then click Disk Cleanup. Listen to
it spin and whir and after a few minutes it will give you a list of what can
safely be deleted. Place check marks in the boxes and click OK. Answer Delete
Files to confirm and Wha-La, You're Done! It’s easier than watching your spouse
take out the garbage!
